LANDMARKING-MONUMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 21, 1908.

Application filed August 22, 1907. Serial No. 389,609.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT LEE PACK- ARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tuckahoe, county of lVestchester, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Landmarking-Monuments, 0' which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in surveyors monuments for marking line boundaries, property lines or any subdivisions of real estate and has for its object to providea durable monument for marking said corners and boundaries and one that will be of such a nature that it can not be mistaken as a rude stone or other common monuments used heretofore. I attain these objects by the manufacture of a reinforced concrete monolith, the substance not being homogeneous because the top portion is made of a loose white cement mixed with screened and washed marble dust while the lower portion is ordinary concrete. Centered in top face is a metallic center which is provided with a depending portion which extends down through the monument and binds the two portions together.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts, which will be eXem lified in the structure hereinafter describec and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying one sheet of drawings in which similar characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 illustrates my menument. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section of same. Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of center. Fig. 4 shows a modification of metallic center.

1 is the lower portion of my monument made of concrete. 2 is the top portion or face which is made of a loose white cement mixed with screened and washed marble dust, both of which are cast around the metallic portion 3 provided with a top face 4, which is flush with top face of monument, in which may be marked the center punch mark 5 anywhere within the limit of face 4. The lower portion of 3 may be enlarged to insure a stronger means of reinforcing the concrete.

I am fully aware that surveyors monuments have been manufactured with metallic faces in top face of monument, and I therefore do not wish to make claim to any such construction.

IIaving fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The herein-described monument for marking boundaries consisting of a concrete body with a white cement face molded to body, the said body and face being cast around a metallic portion provided with a face flush with top of monument, and a center mark within its limit.

The herein-described monument for marking boundaries consisting of a concrete body with a white cement and marble dust face, the said body and face being molded around a metallic portion whereby the face and body portions are reinforced and bound together.

This specification signed and witnessed this 20th day of August, A. 1)., 1907.

ROBERT LEE PACKARD.
